Dear sir,

I am having problem to install vasp, I don't have fortran complier mentioned in make file of vasp.
I am not able to choose appropriate makefile from following list.

-----------------------------------------------------------
cray CRAY C90, J90, T90 (++)
dec DEC ALPHA, True 64 Unix (++)
hp HP PA (0)
linux_abs Linux, Absoft compiler (0)
linux_alpha Linux, Alpha processors fort compiler (++)
linux_ifc_P4 Linux, Intel fortran compiler (ifc), P4 optimisation (++)
linux_ifc_P4 Linux, Intel fortran compiler (ifc), Athlon optimisation (++)
linux_pg Linux, Portland group compiler (++)
nec NEC vector computer (+)
rs6000 IBM AIX, xlf90 compiler (++)
sgi SGI, Origin 200/ 2000/ 3000, Power Challenge, O2 etc. (+)
sp2 IBM SP2, possibly also usefull for RS6000 (++)
sun SUN, Ultrasparc (-)
t3d Cray/SGI T3D (+)
t3e Cray/SGI T3E (+)
vpp fujitsu VPP, VPX (0)

my simple query is that, Is is necessary to have fortran complier from above list to successful installation of vasp?

You can use any Fortran 90+ compiler you like, though you might have to pick on of the example makefiles and tweak it to suit your compiler and system.

Secondly, you seem to have an old version of vasp, as any version for the past few years have included an example makefile for gfortran, the GNU Fortran compiler.
